Iirc my grandfather stopped the local hunt crossing his land

Do "the hunt" have any right to swan across people's land in pursuit or do they have to ask permission first? Surely they cover great distances on their epic conquests to kill foxes.

They don't have a right - they (in an ideal world) get the landowners permission in advance and cooperate with them. Those few who do charge around willy-nilly as if they're entitled to be there give the majority of hunts a bad name.

Good to know. Thought there may be some arcane countryside law of: Toffs on horses can go wherever and whenever in the pursuit of murders.

They've all already got a bad name, and they are cunts.
